Re: 2135 Question w/ photoshop'd img of robot :)

As stated, it is legal but might not be a good idea: The issue is one of damage (or at least potential damage). If the Spike or Victor is protected from damage, go for it. Remember that Victors also get damaged real quick from any conductive material getting inside - aluminum filings for example.

The PWM are fragile, but not as much as you might think. Proper routing, liberal use of wire ties, and fixing the ends in place (e.g., with hot melt glue) is a good idea.
